Manage relationships with external stakeholders and partners and provide information within agreed timelines.

This role will suit someone with a curious mind and transferable skills and experiences, including:

Proven high level skills in the development, application and interpretation of strategic network models and integrated transport planning.
Applied experience with all four steps of traditional strategic planning and modelling process, including trip generation, trip distribution, mode choice and multi-modal/multi-class traffic assignment.
